Hello, I heard this from another list I belong to. Does anyone have anymore information? This is pretty horrible, I don't understand how the charges could be dismissed??? "This story came from AP today:" "(KSDK) -- A St. Louis County judge has dismissed animal abuse charges against a New York man in connection to an incident last February in which the defendant was accused of killing his pet ferret after airline officials told him he could not carry the animal on-board his flight. Prosecutors tell NewsChannel 5 the case was dismissed due to a lack of evidence to sustain a conviction.... " [Moderator's note: Yes, this was mentioneded Monday a couple of days ago on the FML.
